There is some talk in this discussion about going to a fleet manager 
and showing them your price club card.  I went in to make an offer on 
a Voyager and they came down $2000 and were willing to sell me the car
for 2% above list.  They came down this low since they have an agreement
with our insurance company.  I offered $3500 less than list and they did
not accept so I walked.  I can't afford what they were asking.  We are not in 
a hurry so we have some more time to look.

Is a car broker the way to go for a used car?  We are looking for a 91 minivan
and cannot seem to find much of a selection.  Is it best to wait till the end
of summer when everybody is done taking there vacations and the new models
come in?

Thanks for any and all replies.
